Bad Bike Dreams

[emily_in_nc]

I have lots of bike dreams - more when I was not riding and missing it so! They were nearly always good, though...riding along and loving it, but some were odd, with me walking my bike through various obstacles, etc. I figured since I was dreaming of riding so often, I really needed to get back to it to quiet my brain. I did, and I've stopped dreaming of biking so much...now I'm just living it!

Lately I've been dreaming that my Bike Friday showed up a couple of weeks early unexpected. Kind of a disappointment to wake up and realize I have to wait, but it will make the arrival that much sweeter

It's like dreaming it's Saturday, then finding out it's Thursday -- I hate it when that happens!

Good to know I'm not the only bike dreamer. I look forward to good bike dreams like your guys'

Freud said that dreams are wish-fulfillment. But who can believe a guy who said that "sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar"? I mean, as if!

But, on a somewhat more serious note, I notice that I sometimes have dreams about things I'm worried about. Colby, sounds like you're very concerned about something bad happening to your bike. Can't say I blame you though--what would we do without our precious companions?

It's funny that things like buying a house, or a car, never caused these kinds of dreams, and you'd think those things would be pretty important. But my bike?! Now that's important!

Sometimes my dreams are metaphors for something that's going on... like if I dream I'm being chased, there is usually something going on in real life that makes me feel like I can't escape -- an endless project, a long travel series, those kinds of things. Maybe the bike loss means I'm afraid to lose something important to me? Or I feel like something's being taken away and I'm not ready for it?

Freud has to be wrong on this one -- no way would I want to lose my bike!

That is weird. I actually had repeated dreams of taking my dremel tool out and engraving my name, etc into the bottom tube of my bike a few nights before my bike was nearly stolen (it'd been moved to the edge of the carport, but the guy was 'interrupted' by my GF yelling at him as he was in the back of her car trying to dismantle the subwoofer) so I took the initiative and actually did all the engraving after that... Don't have to tell me ...uh... multiple times.

I dream about my bikes, too. Often fairly anxious dreams. None so far where my bike was stolen. That I remember, anyway.

(as I was falling asleep a couple nights ago the name for my new bike popped into my head. and the name is good. I guess that counts as a bike dream?)

I don't think I've ever dreamed about my bike. But a couple weeks ago I dreamed that my Swiss Army Knife was missing it's scissors. There was just a gap where the scissors were supposed to be.
